CBA HOLDS 2017 MIDDLE STATES COLLOQUIUM

May 4, 2017

On Thursday, May 4, 2017, Christian Brothers Academy held a special day-long series of presentations: “Fostering Integrity’ Developing Collaboration: A Middle States Sustaining Excellence Colloquium.” Professionals in the New Jersey grammar school and high school sector as well as members of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools came together for the event. CBA is fully-accredited by the Middle States organization.

The day began with a keynote address from Dr. Mark Brennan, professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business and member of CBA’s Class of 1982. Brennan called attention to the increased demands of today’s students and the need for strong moral character development to curtail academic dishonesty.

The focal point of the Colloquium was six distinct breakout sessions, each led be members of CBA’s faculty. These sessions included experience-backed insights into both current classroom initiatives at CBA and new potential applications for better serving the students of tomorrow. Presentations included:
